Vyctorius Miller’s Freshman Season at LSU
Vyctorius Miller, a 6-foot-5 shooting guard from Los Angeles, spent one season at LSU before entering the NCAA Transfer Portal. As a freshman, he played in 25 games, starting five, and averaged 8.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. He shot 44.7% from the field, 31.8% from beyond the arc, and 72.9% from the free-throw line while logging 19 minutes per contest. Miller made an impact early in the season, playing a key role for the Tigers during non-conference play. Between mid-November and late December, he recorded at least 15 points in seven of 11 games. However, his season was cut short after suffering a lower-leg injury on March 1, forcing him to miss the final stretch, including LSU’s matchup against Kentucky.

Kentucky’s Interest and Other Suitors
Kentucky is among several programs expressing strong interest in Vyctorius Miller. Reports indicate that the Wildcats held a Zoom call with the skilled guard on Sunday, highlighting their serious consideration of him as a potential addition. Other prominent programs pursuing Miller include Tennessee, Michigan State, Houston, UCLA, Georgia Tech, Memphis, and USC. Originally committed to Oregon before switching to LSU in the 2024 recruiting cycle, Miller comes from a well-known family background—he is the son of hip-hop artist Silkk the Shocker and the nephew of Master P. His combination of basketball talent and pedigree has made him a highly sought-after player in the transfer portal.

How Miller Fits Kentucky’s Plans
Although Kentucky has shown clear interest in Miller, his position on their priority list remains uncertain, as several transfer options are still in play. The Wildcats are expected to be aggressive in the portal, looking to add both depth and experience to their young roster. Miller’s scoring ability, size as a guard, and potential for growth make him an appealing prospect. While the Zoom call suggests mutual interest, his decision will likely depend on how Kentucky assesses its backcourt needs compared to other available transfers. Keep an eye out for a possible visit from Miller to Lexington.
